If Belkin Setup
does not run when you insert the CD-ROM, your computer may not be configured to
open CDs automatically.
If Belkin Setup
does not appear within 15 seconds, browse to your CD-ROM drive and open the
"Belkin Setup" icon.
Alternatively, you
may visit HYPERLINK "http://router/"
or "192.168.2.1" and perform the
setup manually.Belkin Setup cannot
find my Router.
If Belkin Setup is not able to communicate with your router
during the installation process, please check the following items.
Make sure that the
wireless hardware on your computer is turned on, if available.
Try connecting your
computer to one of the four "wired" ports on the Router with an Ethernet
cable.
Ensure that the
Router is on. The front panel LED should be lit.
Unplug the Router's
power supply for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. There may be firewall
software on your computer preventing an outgoing connection. You may choose to
temporarily disable this software before attempting setup.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button If you have client devices, such as wireless adapters, that
support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, then you can
use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically
configure wireless security for your wireless
network(s).
To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup, run the Setup
Wizard, or refer to the “Wireless > Basic Wireless
Settings” section of “Chapter 3: Advanced
Configuration".
Wi-Fi Protected Setup LED (Blue/Amber) It
lights up blue when wireless security is
enabled. The LED flashes blue for two
minutes during Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
The LED lights up amber if there is an error
during the Wi‑Fi Protected Setup process. Make
sure the client device supports Wi‑Fi Protected
Setup. Wait until the LED is off, and then try again.
The LED flashes amber when a Wi‑Fi Protected
Setup session is active, and a second session
begins. The Router supports one session at a
time. Wait until the LED is off before starting the
next Wi-Fi Protected Setup session.
You could program the MAC addresses of only the computers you wan't to be able to connect to the router. It seems like you could add the MAC of your girlfriends computer your business computer and any other specific computer you wan't to allow to connect and this would leave all your current securities in place. Here are instructions if this solution sounds like what you need. http://www1.linksys.com/support/troubleshoot/wireless/wireless_router_config/wireless_mac_filtering.html
Have you already setup one of your computers to connect to the Internet using the wireless router?
If so you can setup the second computer the same way and it also will connect to the internet. There is no need to access the Internet through the other computer.
Have you set the properties on the second computer to match the security expected by the router? Since one computer works I would compare the settings for the network connection and set the second computer to the same.
You're welcome to any help I can offer, and I fully understand the potential for confusion. To set up the router itself requires a computer, since this is the only way to 'talk' to the router....but to set up the wireless printer, only the manual can really help, since every one has differing setup requirements.
Concerning your second query, this needs someone with wider expertise than I have - you might wish to post again with this, or perhaps contact one of the top experts directly for faster results - eg 'ziraffa'. (see home page).
Good luck with solving this issue.
In order to setup a second computer with your router you need to first make certain that you have the following:
The second PC must have a wireless adapter. Determine if you have security setup for your network. Meaning determine if you have a wep, wpa, etc. setup. This is a security Hexidecimal encryption that allows only the administrator (you) of the network the ability to place other devices onto your network. You then need to access the web-based tool that allows you to setup and or change settings. Any more questions please feel free to ask I could walk you through it step by step.
